Summary

Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are pushing to classify vandalism against Tesla as domestic terrorism.

Trump declared that those damaging Tesla dealerships would face terrorism charges, calling the company “a great American company.”

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and others urged the FBI and Attorney General to investigate alleged Democrat-linked NGOs behind Tesla attacks, though no evidence was provided.

Greene may have violated House ethics rules by advocating for Tesla while owning its stock.

    What about Vandalism against other car dealers. That’s also domestic terrorism, right?

    Republicans are something society needs to leave behind in full. They literally don’t stand for anything and are net negative for society.

      At this point, they clearly aren’t even for corporations or shareholders, given the most recent cascade of economic catastrophes.

      The destruction of the mainstream conservative media by companies like NewsCorp have yielded great results for right wing authoritarians.

      They’ve been waging war on words for years now. Keep using them improperly until they don’t have any meaning left. So… totally on brand

    Such big man babies, they are going to make it illegal to not like them??? There is not a word in the English language that describes how baby, child like and immature this behavior is. I think we shall call it being musk. They are being extremely musky about this.

    So, the land of freedom is now trying to tell people what emotions they can feel? Against the guy who’s supposed to be a free speech absolutist?

    “You can say whatever you want, as long as it doesn’t upset me.”

    The hypocrisy is unbelievable. You’d think they’d at least avoid making themselves look like complete fools, try to hide it a little?

      That’d require the ability to feel shame. These dipshits are proud of their ignorance.

      And decided by the guy who started the birther conspiracy, feeds the pedo conspiracy (while openly being one), and told the world that his Presidential rival “turned black”.

      Fuck Trump and Musk, they both seem to be real musky about being called out for being awful humans. Trump should probably be more concerned with what JD is doing to the White House furniture, going to have to get plastic sheets to cover them all.
